Important IPPAY Changes With Powercode

Most IPPAY/Powercode Customers Are Not Affected By This.

We were made aware of some changes required by IPPAY related to the SEC code sent during transactions involving bank accounts.  We have received the requirements from IPPAY and understand some Powercode users will have received a similar message as well.  Powercode is currently on working on providing the tools necessary to correctly code bank accounts and their transactions.  This will be released in an update currently scheduled for November 22, 2017.  Please keep an eye on this website after that release for full information related to the SEC code and what you should do to mitigate any discrepancies.

We apologize for any confusion and are working with IPPAY to adhere to these new requirements as soon as possible.

Dropbox Backup Updates

As of 17.10.19, Powercode’s backups integration for Dropbox has been updated and may require you to authorize your account again for your backups to Dropbox to continue functioning.  Below is a quick guide focusing on how to reauthorize your Dropbox account for Powercode to push the backup files to.  If you are not using Dropbox, you can ignore this post.

On a side note, we will be providing Amazon S3 as a backup destination option within the next couple weeks.

  • Set Enable Backups to “Enabled”
  • Set your backup schedule
  • Set Remote Backups to “Enabled”
  • Set Backup Method to “Dropbox”
  • Click “Get Authorization Code”

You will now be routed to Dropbox’s site where you will generate an authorization code.

Allow Powercode Remote Backups Access

You need to give Powercode permission to save backups to your Dropbox account.

  • Log in to your account (or create a new account) if required
  • Grant Powercode access to save backups to your account by clicking “Allow”

  • Copy the authorization code that Dropbox generates

Now that you have an authorization code you can continue with the process in Powercode.

Complete Backup Settings

Enter the remaining information to complete the backup settings.

  • In Powercode paste the authorization code into the appropriate field
  • Enter a directory path of your choice where the backups will be saved
  • Save settings

Powercode is now configured to save backups to your Dropbox account.
